Over the past couple of days, Gamenab.net has been the center of a heated debate – due to claims that the G-SYNC technology that NVIDIA has been selling on monitors (at around $150-$250 premium over monitors without) is “DRM” (to put it simply). More details about that can be found here.

There are several threads going on around the Internet – including Overclock.net and reddit.com – lots of discussion and not a lot of concrete evidence in the way of users posting their results. Why? Well, so far, Gamenab.net claims that it only works 100% on gaming laptops with GTX 6xxM-9xxM GPUs and an eDP connection for the laptop’s monitor. Lucky for you guys – I have such a laptop (ASUS RoG G751 with i7-4710HQ CPU and GTX 980M GPU).

I installed the drivers on top of my existing NVIDIA 347.25 drivers, selecting a clean install. Everything worked great:

As you can see, my monitor is a 17″ IPS by LG Philips (LP173WF4-SPD1) connected via eDP. G-SYNC enabled without issue…and I ran a round of Battlefield 4 multi-player using the spectator mode – 240 FPS video available for download, below (recorded off-screen with an iPhone 6 in the “Slo-Mo” mode). You can also download a copy of the driver – and try it for yourself. My thoughts so far? It seems to work. I have a BenQ XL2420G G-SYNC monitor right next to me that I use as my primary gaming monitor on my mATX build – so I’m very familiar with the G-SYNC experience.

Want to try it out? The modded drivers are safe (I’ve installed them myself and also scanned them with Sourcefire FireAMP). I’ve mirrored them here:
